1
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:27,901
These things will stop a bullet?

2
00:00:27,901 --> 00:00:31,421
No. They will not shoot you
in a public place.

3
00:00:31,741 --> 00:00:33,261
What a relief.

4
00:00:36,141 --> 00:00:38,101
These are for knives.

5
00:00:39,221 --> 00:00:40,340
Great.

6
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:45,901
This is your table.
Get there first.

7
00:00:45,901 --> 00:00:48,181
Sit with your backs to the wall.

8
00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:51,380
That's your waiter.
We know him.

9
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:56,060
Anyone else serves you,
don't touch it.

10
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:03,861
When we sit down with them,
you're gonna order a black coffee.

11
00:01:03,861 --> 00:01:08,021
- What's this guy's rank?
- Yakuza... he's the number 2.

12
00:01:08,021 --> 00:01:10,340
Speak as little as possible.

13
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:12,941
Let them do the talking.

14
00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:17,901
I'm Jake Adelstein.

15
00:01:19,941 --> 00:01:22,941
- Jake Adelstein, correct?
- Yes.

16
00:01:22,941 --> 00:01:28,261
We're a little early, but... we'd like
to be seated before our hosts arrive.

17
00:01:28,261 --> 00:01:31,700
Your hosts have already arrived
and your meeting has been moved.

18
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,340
It's now upstairs,
in their private lounge.

19
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:08,341
We know...
what you're investigating.

20
00:03:10,621 --> 00:03:12,381
We want you to stop.

21
00:03:16,261 --> 00:03:18,420
I'll keep that in mind.

22
00:03:24,381 --> 00:03:25,580
Tozawa-san...

23
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:30,101
is a father to everyone
in our organization.

24
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:37,621
This story... is not good for him.

25
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:41,941
Understand?

26
00:03:53,580 --> 00:03:54,700
Walk away.

27
00:03:55,341 --> 00:03:56,980
It will be
like it never happened.

28
00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:03,740
Publish it?
There's nowhere you can hide.

29
00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:14,061
But before we deal with you,
we'll "visit" your whole family.

30
00:04:18,501 --> 00:04:22,020
Do you mind if I smoke
while I consider your offer?

31
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:47,220
TWO YEARS EARLIER

32
00:05:34,741 --> 00:05:37,140
Okay, did everyone practice
their assignment?

33
00:05:37,140 --> 00:05:38,700
Yes.

34
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,981
Mrs. Morimoto,
how about you go first?

35
00:05:40,981 --> 00:05:42,140
- Hello.
- Hello.

36
00:05:42,140 --> 00:05:44,700
- Is this Mr. Adelstein?
- Speaking.

37
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:48,140
This is Mrs. Morimoto.
I was won...

38
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:49,700
Wondering.

39
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:51,821
Wondering if you come
to dinner tonight.

40
00:05:51,821 --> 00:05:53,621
- We would love to.
- Okay.

41
00:05:53,621 --> 00:05:56,340
Thank you very much.
Okay, that's it for today.

42
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,261
I'll see you guys next week.

43
00:05:58,261 --> 00:06:00,780
Arigato gozaimashita.

44
00:06:39,340 --> 00:06:42,780
- Good evening.
- Welcome!

45
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:47,261
Can I get liver, leek, and...

46
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:49,020
chicken thigh?

47
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:50,020
Hai.

48
00:06:57,301 --> 00:07:00,421
"Weather Systems"

49
00:08:09,861 --> 00:08:12,340
Hey, Jake!

50
00:08:13,941 --> 00:08:16,540
What's up?
I thought you were going home.

51
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:19,340
I am. Just got done packing.

52
00:08:19,340 --> 00:08:24,381
Hey, if this don't work out,
come to Austin and say hi.

53
00:08:24,381 --> 00:08:26,540
- I will.
- All right.

54
00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:23,420
Hi, Takada-san.

55
00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:25,501
Hi, Jake.

56
00:09:32,461 --> 00:09:35,381
How are you?
Were you busy today?

57
00:09:35,381 --> 00:09:37,261
Slow.

58
00:11:02,101 --> 00:11:07,060
Excuse me, but...
...this test is in Japanese.

59
00:11:10,381 --> 00:11:12,581
Yes, I know.

60
00:11:40,581 --> 00:11:44,861
QUALIFYING EXAM
MEICHO SHIMBUN NEWSPAPER

61
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:54,581
Please start!

62
00:15:20,780 --> 00:15:23,221
Yeah? It's Takada.

63
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:27,140
Wait a minute.

64
00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:40,900
Hello?

65
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:43,501
Yeah.

66
00:15:46,981 --> 00:15:48,381
Yes?

67
00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:51,101
Hai.

68
00:15:52,501 --> 00:15:53,940
Hai.

69
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:26,221
You transferred from...

70
00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:32,940
University... ...Mis-sou-ri...

71
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:36,140
- To Sophia University.
- Yes.

72
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:38,820
To study Japanese
literature for three years.

73
00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:40,300
Hai.

74
00:16:42,381 --> 00:16:44,780
You wish to be a crime reporter
in Japan. Why?

75
00:16:45,461 --> 00:16:48,660
My father is a coroner,
and he took me to crime scenes,

76
00:16:48,660 --> 00:16:51,701
showed me bodies, murder files.

77
00:16:51,701 --> 00:16:54,660
I found trying to reason
what actually happened

78
00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:57,741
from forensic evidence fascinating.

79
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:04,940
Your written Japanese
is excellent.

80
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:06,141
Thank you.

81
00:17:06,141 --> 00:17:08,860
So how do you explain this?

82
00:17:10,981 --> 00:17:14,221
I did not pay
close enough attention.

83
00:17:14,981 --> 00:17:18,221
Even with what you missed,
your score was high.

84
00:17:20,941 --> 00:17:26,580
The Tokyo "Meicho Shimbun"
has 12 million readers a day,

85
00:17:26,580 --> 00:17:31,060
the greatest newspaper in Japan,
the best newspaper in the world.

86
00:17:31,060 --> 00:17:34,820
No foreigner has worked here ever.

87
00:17:35,901 --> 00:17:37,661
I understand.

88
00:17:38,221 --> 00:17:41,181
Do you believe in
corporate loyalty?

89
00:17:41,661 --> 00:17:42,701
Absolutely.

90
00:17:44,741 --> 00:17:47,540
- You're Jewish.
- Yes.

91
00:17:48,461 --> 00:17:50,300
Do Jews eat sushi?

92
00:17:53,221 --> 00:17:54,181
Every day.

93
00:17:54,981 --> 00:18:00,501
Many here believe Jews
control the world economy.

94
00:18:00,501 --> 00:18:02,100
What do you think?

95
00:18:03,981 --> 00:18:08,060
If we did, do you think I'd be happy
with what you'd pay me?

96
00:18:30,701 --> 00:18:31,860
Good evening.

97
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:35,941
Jake-san. You look like
you had a good day.

98
00:18:37,340 --> 00:18:39,820
Best day of my life.

99
00:19:20,421 --> 00:19:22,741
I'm Emi Maruyama.
I'm the Sub-Cap.

100
00:19:22,741 --> 00:19:24,141
You will report to me.

101
00:19:24,141 --> 00:19:28,620
From here on out, you will start
at the Police Press Club.

102
00:19:29,701 --> 00:19:31,860
These are examples of articles.
Memorize their format.

103
00:19:31,860 --> 00:19:35,901
This is the only format
you will use.

104
00:19:35,901 --> 00:19:38,661
This is the Meicho manual.

105
00:19:38,981 --> 00:19:42,620
There is a lede paragraph.
Then... who.

106
00:19:42,620 --> 00:19:44,300
Who. Where. Who. Where. When.

107
00:19:45,221 --> 00:19:48,860
Then, three more paragraphs
of detail.

108
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:50,981
And... "Why?"

109
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,020
Only at the end.
If there's room.

110
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:58,060
- How often is there room?
- Probably never.

111
00:19:58,060 --> 00:20:01,860
Take a copy and head
to the conference room.

112
00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:04,701
Thanks, Emi-san.

113
00:20:06,020 --> 00:20:07,461
I'm not your friend,

114
00:20:07,461 --> 00:20:10,501
so you're about
a thousand hours too early

115
00:20:10,501 --> 00:20:12,901
in this relationship
to call me Emi.

116
00:20:14,421 --> 00:20:17,020
As your superior and yoursenpai,

117
00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:20,421
you will pay me the courtesy
of using Maruyama-san.

118
00:20:20,981 --> 00:20:22,501
Are we clear?

119
00:20:22,501 --> 00:20:24,421
Yes, totally.

120
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:29,661
You think because you're a foreigner,
the rules are different?

121
00:20:32,501 --> 00:20:35,141
Not in this company
and not with me.

122
00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:38,540
Why are you starting
on the police beat?

123
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:43,221
Because everyone starts
on the police beat.

124
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:46,461
Purse snatching,
traffic accidents...

125
00:20:46,461 --> 00:20:49,620
...a man choked to death
on a rice cake.

126
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:53,941
This is the exciting material
you will be covering.

127
00:20:53,941 --> 00:20:55,981
Sounds fun, no?

128
00:20:56,901 --> 00:21:00,941
Listen closely because I am
only going to say this once.

129
00:21:00,941 --> 00:21:04,540
Your Sub-Cap will assign you
a story.

130
00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:08,461
After you are assigned
your story...

131
00:21:11,221 --> 00:21:13,580
Who the hell are you?

132
00:21:13,580 --> 00:21:16,141
Who let the gaijin in here?

133
00:21:17,461 --> 00:21:19,501
I'm a new reporter, sir.

134
00:21:21,901 --> 00:21:24,820
I'm a new reporter, sir.

135
00:21:24,820 --> 00:21:28,820
Someone throw him
out of here...

136
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:32,941
- This isn't a tourist destination.
- Baku.

137
00:21:32,941 --> 00:21:38,540
After today, your lives
belong to this newspaper.

138
00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:42,981
So tonight... we're going to
give you an evening to remember.

139
00:21:42,981 --> 00:21:46,461
Kanpai!

140
00:22:35,661 --> 00:22:38,020
Hey, Jake!

141
00:22:47,620 --> 00:22:50,661
They're all calling you Mossad!

142
00:22:50,661 --> 00:22:52,580
What?

143
00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:54,340
Mos-sad.

144
00:22:55,181 --> 00:22:58,620
Everyone here thinks
you're a spy for the Israelis.

145
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:03,421
Mos-sad.
I'm from Mos-souri.

146
00:23:03,421 --> 00:23:05,181
Okay, James Bond.

147
00:23:10,741 --> 00:23:12,941
These guys are all in.

148
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:16,780
Super hard-core.

149
00:23:18,221 --> 00:23:20,941
She's gotta pour drinks all night?

150
00:23:21,501 --> 00:23:23,380
Yeah, that's fucked up.

151
00:23:26,661 --> 00:23:29,461
How much did you study
for the test?

152
00:23:31,701 --> 00:23:34,421
For the entrance exam,
how much did you study?

153
00:23:34,421 --> 00:23:36,701
- Who studied?
- You had to study?

154
00:24:21,141 --> 00:24:22,981
ID'd him already?

155
00:24:22,981 --> 00:24:25,501
Yes, sir. He's Mr. Aoki.

156
00:24:26,620 --> 00:24:29,221
Multiple stab wounds.

157
00:24:31,221 --> 00:24:34,860
Slashes on his hands.

158
00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:41,100
...defensive wounds.

159
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,860
What the hell is this guy
doing back here?!

160
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:29,701
What are you doing?!

161
00:26:29,701 --> 00:26:32,620
He's one of the new reporters.

162
00:26:52,020 --> 00:26:55,141
What we know about the victim:

163
00:26:55,141 --> 00:26:58,540
name, age, occupation,
...his home address and

164
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:00,741
date and time he was found dead.

165
00:27:00,741 --> 00:27:05,580
The cause of death:
hemorrhagic shock due to a knife wound.

166
00:27:08,661 --> 00:27:10,340
Was he robbed?

167
00:27:10,340 --> 00:27:13,340
Does it say he was robbed?

168
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:18,901
Does he have
criminal affiliations?

169
00:27:22,221 --> 00:27:26,620
All you need to know
is what's on this release.

170
00:27:26,620 --> 00:27:30,340
I'm going to go through this, but...

171
00:27:30,981 --> 00:27:32,501
...that's all you get.

172
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:34,780
Is that clear?

173
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:38,181
Yes.

174
00:27:41,141 --> 00:27:43,421
Let's start
from the beginning.

175
00:27:43,421 --> 00:27:44,981
The date and time of discovery:

176
00:27:44,981 --> 00:27:48,181
April 6th, 1999 around 5:45am.

177
00:27:49,261 --> 00:27:53,860
Confirmed his death at 5:47am.
The place of incident...

178
00:27:55,661 --> 00:27:57,060
Who's that guy?

179
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:02,461
Miyamoto.

180
00:28:02,461 --> 00:28:05,461
Prostitution, weapons.

181
00:28:06,741 --> 00:28:08,501
Badass.

182
00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:12,540
They say he loves chickens.

183
00:28:13,701 --> 00:28:14,860
Chicks.

184
00:28:16,540 --> 00:28:17,780
Chicks?

185
00:28:18,181 --> 00:28:19,100
Yeah.

186
00:28:19,421 --> 00:28:21,540
Not chickens?

187
00:28:21,540 --> 00:28:22,941
Trust me.

188
00:28:46,780 --> 00:28:48,141
The dead body by the bridge.

189
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:51,221
The home address
is in the number one report.

190
00:28:52,181 --> 00:28:54,461
Write it up, 500 characters,
end of day.

191
00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:01,941
There you go!

192
00:29:02,620 --> 00:29:05,540
- Good luck.
- Later.

193
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:50,221
FINAL NOTICE

194
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:16,780

195
00:31:16,780 --> 00:31:19,701
"...from Shinjuku Northern Ward."

196
00:31:19,701 --> 00:31:22,221
"...found around 6am..."

197
00:31:22,221 --> 00:31:23,380
"The cause of death..."

198
00:31:23,380 --> 00:31:27,540
"...was hemorrhage.
Knife planted in victim's chest..."

199
00:31:31,780 --> 00:31:34,461
"May have been in debt

200
00:31:34,461 --> 00:31:37,661
"...strangely, their office is vacated."

201
00:32:12,580 --> 00:32:15,780
Gaijin! Come here.

202
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:26,580
- Sit.
- Yes.

203
00:32:28,501 --> 00:32:31,300
What is this you wrote?

204
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:32,981
I was at the crime scene and...

205
00:32:32,981 --> 00:32:37,181
You write that this man
was "murdered."

206
00:32:38,941 --> 00:32:42,461
I was at the scene.
He was murdered.

207
00:32:42,981 --> 00:32:45,100
Did the cops tell you
he was murdered?

208
00:32:46,060 --> 00:32:49,901
He was not "murdered"
until they say so.

209
00:32:49,901 --> 00:32:54,020
He didn't fall on a knife
sticking up out of the sidewalk!

210
00:32:54,020 --> 00:32:55,540
...and stab himself 8 more times.

211
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:57,780
Your job was to call
the officer in charge!

212
00:32:58,741 --> 00:33:01,100
Find out what they say
the charge is.

213
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:03,300
And. Write. That. Down.

214
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,060
- Word for word.
- Hai. Hai.

215
00:33:07,741 --> 00:33:09,221
Get out.

216
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:16,981
- What the hell are you doing?
- Hai.

217
00:33:18,060 --> 00:33:19,941
You knew about this?

218
00:33:20,941 --> 00:33:23,741
- That was my mistake.
- Why did you let that man submit that?

219
00:33:23,741 --> 00:33:26,060
<i>- Hai.
- Think about it.</i>

220
00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:27,661
Sorry.

221
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:31,620
I'm sorry, I... I don't mean
to get you in trouble.

222
00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:33,661
I can take care of myself,
thank you.

223
00:33:33,661 --> 00:33:35,901
- I just think...
- You don't get to think.

224
00:33:36,261 --> 00:33:38,540
You will follow the rules
and write what you are told to write,

225
00:33:38,540 --> 00:33:42,141
like everyone else,
or you will be gone.

226
00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:00,181
No, I'm not gonna regurgitate
the police report word for word.

227
00:34:00,181 --> 00:34:02,461
- Regurgitate?
- Yeah, that's not reporting.

228
00:34:02,461 --> 00:34:03,981
So what did you do?

229
00:34:03,981 --> 00:34:08,020
I went to the stabbed guy's house,
and, uh, I went through his mail.

230
00:34:09,020 --> 00:34:11,621
What are you gonna do,
call the mail police?

231
00:34:11,621 --> 00:34:13,541
- Maybe.
- Did you find anything?

232
00:34:13,541 --> 00:34:15,820
There were bunch of overdue
bills from a loan company.

233
00:34:15,820 --> 00:34:19,101
So the guy was clearly
in debt to this company.

234
00:34:19,101 --> 00:34:20,780
I copied down the logo,
the address.

235
00:34:20,780 --> 00:34:22,581
You recognize this logo?

236
00:34:22,581 --> 00:34:23,661
Nope.

237
00:34:23,661 --> 00:34:25,820
I went to the address,
and there was nothing there.

238
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:27,420
Like, the loan company was gone.

239
00:34:27,420 --> 00:34:29,500
- So no story?
- After all.

240
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,101
Not a complete story
but a beginning of a story,

241
00:34:32,101 --> 00:34:33,780
so I wrote it up,
handed it in...

242
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:39,380
Got wrung out for not copying down
word for word a fucking...

243
00:35:36,980 --> 00:35:39,701
Miyamoto-san. Jake.

244
00:35:39,701 --> 00:35:42,261
I'm a crime reporter
for the "Meicho," and, uh...

245
00:35:43,061 --> 00:35:45,500
No, no, I...
can I buy you a drink?

246
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:46,661
Why?

247
00:35:46,661 --> 00:35:49,101
I'm trying to figure out
how reporters work with police,

248
00:35:49,101 --> 00:35:50,900
and maybe you could
show me the ropes.

249
00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:53,141
- Ropes?
- Yeah.

250
00:35:53,141 --> 00:35:55,900
- It's a...
- Show you the ropes?

251
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:57,141
Yeah.

252
00:35:57,141 --> 00:36:01,420
Hey! This guy wants me to tie
him down and do weird shit.

253
00:36:04,820 --> 00:36:07,621
- Miyamoto-san...
- Uh, I like gaijin but only with tits.

254
00:36:11,741 --> 00:36:12,701
Oi, oi!

255
00:36:13,581 --> 00:36:16,701
Tell me, do you know
how to pick up gaijin girls?

256
00:36:18,261 --> 00:36:20,061
Absolutely.

257
00:36:20,061 --> 00:36:24,621
I have to say, I find your dress,
uh, extra flattering?

258
00:36:24,621 --> 00:36:26,980
No, no, no.
Extraordinarily flattering.

259
00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:28,101
Extraordinarily.

260
00:36:28,101 --> 00:36:29,900
And it's got to be
sophisticated, smooth.

261
00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:31,021
Just roll it out.

262
00:36:31,021 --> 00:36:34,101
I have to say, I find your dress
extraordinarily flattering.

263
00:36:34,101 --> 00:36:36,500
Miyamoto-san!
Miyamoto-san! Miyamoto-san!

264
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:38,101
What the hell do you want?

265
00:36:38,101 --> 00:36:39,980
I sent five people to Onyx.

266
00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:42,300
They spent $5,000. Onyx won't
pay me my commission.

267
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:43,541
You introduced us!

268
00:36:43,541 --> 00:36:45,101
- Okay.
- Do something!

269
00:36:45,101 --> 00:36:46,860
- Fine. Follow us.
- Later!

270
00:36:46,860 --> 00:36:49,261
- And this shit works?
- Yes.

271
00:36:49,741 --> 00:36:53,661
Western girls, they like a guy
who's flirtatious, debonair.

272
00:36:53,661 --> 00:36:55,621
Trust me, I know
what I'm talking about.

273
00:36:55,621 --> 00:36:56,741
Okay.

274
00:36:56,741 --> 00:36:59,500
First... we have to stop at this
hostess club... for that guy.

275
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:02,021
Then we'll see if you do.

276
00:37:07,581 --> 00:37:09,141
They didn't spend that much.

277
00:37:09,141 --> 00:37:12,420
They spent $5,000 here.
They told me.

278
00:37:12,420 --> 00:37:15,181
Pay me what you promised.

279
00:37:15,181 --> 00:37:17,860
- Baldy... you're being loud.
- All right, all right.

280
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:21,101
Give me five percent.
I'll handle it.

281
00:37:36,541 --> 00:37:38,741
You got that done the old way?

282
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:33,581
Who do you think
you're talking to?

283
00:38:33,581 --> 00:38:35,500
What did you say?
Stand up!

284
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:37,860
You trying to start something?
Start it!

285
00:38:37,860 --> 00:38:38,980
Stop!

286
00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:39,980
Sit down.

287
00:39:56,741 --> 00:40:00,621
That was really great.
You were really good up there.

288
00:40:00,621 --> 00:40:02,261
Thanks, I try.

289
00:40:02,820 --> 00:40:05,061
- Do you wanna have a drink?
- Sure.

290
00:40:14,021 --> 00:40:15,420
Sir...

291
00:40:16,300 --> 00:40:18,300
- Anything else?
- Yeah.

292
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:20,900
We're all set. Thank you.

293
00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:26,500
Your Japanese is very good.

294
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:28,340
Thank you.

295
00:40:29,340 --> 00:40:31,460
Why are you hanging out
with cops?

296
00:40:33,061 --> 00:40:35,701
Because I'm a reporter
for the "Meicho."

297
00:40:35,701 --> 00:40:38,141
No. Really?

298
00:40:38,661 --> 00:40:40,261
An American.

299
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:44,101
Well, what do you report on?

300
00:40:45,460 --> 00:40:46,980
I'm on the police beat.

301
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:52,420
So stories about guys like that?

302
00:40:55,261 --> 00:40:56,380
You never know.

303
00:40:57,420 --> 00:40:59,340
Really, what do you report on?

304
00:41:00,701 --> 00:41:03,541
You know, you never know
who you're gonna talk to,

305
00:41:03,541 --> 00:41:06,581
where you're gonna go,
what you're gonna see.

306
00:41:06,581 --> 00:41:08,380
Every day is different.

307
00:41:10,581 --> 00:41:13,141
Is this what you wear
to work every day?

308
00:41:13,141 --> 00:41:16,701
No, I... the paper's got

309
00:41:16,701 --> 00:41:19,221
these strict regulations
on what you have to wear,

310
00:41:19,221 --> 00:41:22,980
so I wear a suit and tie
and, uh, so...

311
00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:28,300
I'm trying really hard
to get it right,

312
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:33,181
you know, to fit
into their system, which...

313
00:41:34,340 --> 00:41:37,340
Is mentally tyrannical,

314
00:41:37,340 --> 00:41:40,340
which is not what I expected
from a newspaper, you know?

315
00:41:41,820 --> 00:41:42,860
Yeah.

316
00:41:42,860 --> 00:41:45,621
Yeah, I know how rigid
corporate life can be.

317
00:41:46,741 --> 00:41:49,340
So why are you doing this?

318
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:53,780
Well, I wanna report
on what really happens.

319
00:41:57,860 --> 00:41:59,741
That's it.

320
00:42:01,021 --> 00:42:02,741
That's...

321
00:42:05,621 --> 00:42:07,860
I mean, you know,

322
00:42:07,860 --> 00:42:12,541
maybe someday make
a small piece of history.

323
00:42:15,541 --> 00:42:17,300
So is it gonna work?

324
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,061
So far, it seems like
everything I've touched, I've...

325
00:42:23,181 --> 00:42:24,581
Screwed up.

326
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:28,420
But giving up and going home
is not an option.

327
00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:30,380
You know what I mean?

328
00:42:30,380 --> 00:42:32,701
I know exactly what you mean.

329
00:42:35,860 --> 00:42:37,300
Where are you from?

330
00:42:38,061 --> 00:42:39,980
Saitama, originally,

331
00:42:39,980 --> 00:42:42,621
but I've been in Tokyo
for the past few years.

332
00:42:46,101 --> 00:42:48,661
Well, but before that,
where are you from?

333
00:42:50,261 --> 00:42:52,820
Well, that's a second
bottle question, honey.

334
00:42:57,741 --> 00:43:00,061
See, how this works is,

335
00:43:00,061 --> 00:43:02,621
the more you buy,
the more we talk.

336
00:43:02,621 --> 00:43:05,061
And the better you buy,
the better I talk.

337
00:43:05,980 --> 00:43:08,300
But if there's no more buying...

338
00:43:11,061 --> 00:43:14,380
I don't have enough
for a whole nother bottle.

339
00:43:14,380 --> 00:43:16,181
Well, that's a shame.

340
00:43:17,221 --> 00:43:19,500
See you another time.

341
00:43:23,181 --> 00:43:24,780
He's not a liar. Pay him.

342
00:43:24,780 --> 00:43:26,860
Cognac, two please.

343
00:43:26,860 --> 00:43:28,820
- Good evening.
- Good evening.

344
00:43:28,820 --> 00:43:31,940
- Miyamoto-san...
- Piss off.

345
00:43:32,820 --> 00:43:34,181
What's your name?

346
00:43:34,181 --> 00:43:37,340
I'm Polina.
But I'm already at a table.

347
00:43:38,101 --> 00:43:40,541
Why don't you reserve me
next time.

348
00:43:40,541 --> 00:43:42,300
Another drink.

349
00:43:43,021 --> 00:43:44,661
See you around.

350
00:44:01,621 --> 00:44:03,900
Time to test your
debonair bullshit.

351
00:44:26,340 --> 00:44:30,581
So, Miyamoto-san...

352
00:44:32,780 --> 00:44:35,661
Tell me, how do reporters
and police work, huh?

353
00:44:36,221 --> 00:44:38,500
- What can I get you?
- Champagne.

354
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:39,940
He's paying.

355
00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:42,621
Here's what
you need to understand.

356
00:44:43,541 --> 00:44:46,181
There's no murder in Japan.

357
00:44:46,181 --> 00:44:50,300
- Wait, what? How is that...
- Hey! Excuse me!

358
00:44:51,221 --> 00:44:52,500
How is that a...

359
00:44:55,261 --> 00:44:58,261
Tell Kristina...
Her. Kristina...

360
00:44:58,261 --> 00:45:00,420
I wanna buy her a drink.

361
00:45:04,141 --> 00:45:06,780
But... There are
murder cases, right?

362
00:45:07,581 --> 00:45:09,181
There are murder cases.

363
00:45:09,181 --> 00:45:10,181
Are there?

364
00:45:28,101 --> 00:45:30,541
Hi. This is my friend Tatiana.

365
00:45:30,541 --> 00:45:32,300
Hi. How are you?

366
00:45:34,860 --> 00:45:37,661
Give me more glasses.

367
00:45:44,061 --> 00:45:50,420
I have to say, I find your dress
extraordinarily flattering.

368
00:45:50,780 --> 00:45:53,181
Thank you.

369
00:45:53,581 --> 00:45:56,021
What do you mean
there's no murder in Japan?

370
00:45:56,021 --> 00:45:57,101
That doesn't make any sense.

371
00:45:57,101 --> 00:46:00,261
I forgot, your English
is not so good.

372
00:46:00,261 --> 00:46:04,541
There is no murder in Japan.

373
00:46:04,541 --> 00:46:07,261
So then what was that stabbing,
that guy in the street?

374
00:46:07,261 --> 00:46:09,621
Could be manslaughter.
Could be accidental death.

375
00:46:09,621 --> 00:46:13,141
But the key is, unless you
have to deal with a witness,

376
00:46:13,141 --> 00:46:16,021
it's never a murder.

377
00:46:16,701 --> 00:46:19,380
Since when do you need a witness
to tell you a murder is a murder?

378
00:46:19,380 --> 00:46:22,380
'Cause you report it
and we can't solve it,

379
00:46:22,380 --> 00:46:24,420
our clearance rate goes down.

380
00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:26,420
How does that get me
a story to write?

381
00:46:34,661 --> 00:46:36,581
Work. Gotta go!

382
00:46:46,061 --> 00:46:47,500
Good evening.

383
00:46:47,500 --> 00:46:49,261
Good evening, Pops.

384
00:46:49,261 --> 00:46:51,181
Can we talk, Pops?

385
00:46:51,181 --> 00:46:53,181
Can we talk?

386
00:46:55,101 --> 00:46:56,980
Let's talk.

387
00:46:59,581 --> 00:47:01,980
What's wrong? Pops?

388
00:47:06,900 --> 00:47:08,340
Pops?

389
00:47:09,340 --> 00:47:11,101
Let's talk.

390
00:47:11,420 --> 00:47:13,460
What are you doing?

391
00:47:14,581 --> 00:47:17,420
Pops, talk to me...

392
00:47:21,261 --> 00:47:22,820
Pops! Look at me!

393
00:48:40,181 --> 00:48:42,300
Two dead men, two logos.

394
00:48:42,940 --> 00:48:44,181
The same logo.

395
00:48:44,181 --> 00:48:45,980
You already have
a story to write.

396
00:48:45,980 --> 00:48:48,541
But there's linkage.
This story is bigger.

397
00:48:49,141 --> 00:48:50,661
The guy who set himself
on fire in Kabukicho.

398
00:48:50,661 --> 00:48:52,900
We covered that.
It's already in print.

399
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:55,181
There's more to that story.

400
00:48:55,581 --> 00:48:58,500
You do the story you're assigned.

401
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,300
- Okay.
- No. Is that clear?

402
00:49:01,780 --> 00:49:05,701
And only that story. Understood?

403
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:08,181
Totally. Yes, understood.

404
00:49:43,661 --> 00:49:46,900
I have to do
a human interest story.

405
00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:48,860
From the incident the other day.

406
00:49:48,860 --> 00:49:53,261
There was no home address
on the press release.

407
00:49:53,261 --> 00:49:58,661
May I ask for a copy
of the No. 1 report.

408
00:50:11,581 --> 00:50:12,780
Oi!

409
00:50:14,420 --> 00:50:16,061
Bring me the file.

410
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:36,741
Thank you for seeing me.

411
00:50:37,820 --> 00:50:39,420
May I record this?

412
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:49,021
How can you stand to be alive?

413
00:50:49,021 --> 00:50:52,181
<i>Isn't your family ashamed
by you?</i>

414
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:54,900
Why aren't you dead?

415
00:51:00,860 --> 00:51:04,141
My husband tried to...

416
00:51:05,820 --> 00:51:10,061
...protect me from Yakuza.

417
00:51:12,661 --> 00:51:14,701
They told him...
"A real man..."

418
00:51:14,701 --> 00:51:16,820
"...pays his debts."

419
00:51:20,181 --> 00:51:23,380
But with the crazy interest,

420
00:51:24,261 --> 00:51:28,460
a little debt became
so much money.

421
00:51:30,940 --> 00:51:36,300
Bad men called every day,
every night...

422
00:51:37,181 --> 00:51:39,500
...and shouted at him.

423
00:51:41,181 --> 00:51:44,980
He took his life
because he owed so much money?

424
00:51:48,460 --> 00:51:52,980
No. To avoid living in shame.

425
00:51:58,261 --> 00:52:00,741
Now... what do you do
with the calls?

426
00:52:01,420 --> 00:52:05,500
After he died,
they stopped calling for money.

427
00:52:07,101 --> 00:52:08,860
"Stopped"?

428
00:52:09,460 --> 00:52:10,701
Why?

429
00:52:12,541 --> 00:52:13,900
I don't know why.

430
00:52:15,340 --> 00:52:20,300
I'm only grateful that they did.

431
00:54:13,940 --> 00:54:18,221
Family members in attendance
will commence

432
00:54:18,221 --> 00:54:19,701
a sake ritual of celebration

433
00:54:19,701 --> 00:54:22,820
celebrating the bond
of brotherhood.

434
00:54:23,661 --> 00:54:25,860
Accepting this bond is:

435
00:54:25,860 --> 00:54:31,621
the leader of "Ishida" clan,
Hitoshi Ishida.

436
00:54:34,661 --> 00:54:38,340
Those to be elevated are...

437
00:54:39,300 --> 00:54:42,460
Kume, Yoshihiro.

438
00:55:38,701 --> 00:55:42,541
Oyabun.
Accept our pledge and loyalty.

439
00:55:51,701 --> 00:55:54,741
Let us seal this pact.

440
00:55:55,141 --> 00:55:56,860
Raise your hands.
